Long For This World by Jason Sussberg & David Alvarado

A documentary on the scientists in the human longevity movement who are trying to cure aging as though it were a disease.

Synopsis:

This is a character-driven documentary about the science and philosophy of a few people around the world who are trying to develop medical technologies that will make us all live past our natural lifespans. These scientists claim that the coming age of the fountain of youth is just on the horizon, and that many people alive today will see the benefits. But if they truly can do this, should they? In this 90 minute film, we will explore their means and motivations as they grow older, and thus nearer to their own deaths.
